SS dispatched with Red Reserve easily (and on LAN), who won against LDLC for a second time in a row. I guess LDLC is SS's kryptonite. Or maybe Ex6TenZ is Maj3r's.

Not a single interesting team on that list :/

2017-06-26 03:31

NiP, because they got invited again xDDDddd

2017-06-26 03:36

True but I don't expect a top placement from them

2017-06-26 03:44

Anyone care to see how many invites they get before they exit the top 30? Either that or how many more majors they fail to qualify for before REZ raping everyone at events
